India Kawasaki Motors will bring its entry level adventure motorcycle Versys-X 300 and its mid-size cruiser Vulcan S this year, according to a report in Autocar Professional. According to the report, the manufacturer will bring these two motorcycles in 2017, as they are setting up a facility in Chakan, Pune. The Versys-X3 was showcased at the 2016 EICMA and is powered by a 296cc, eight-valve, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. The unit will produce 38 hp of power and 27Nm of torque and will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox. On the other hand, the company will launch its first cruiser motorcycle in India, Vulcan S, which is powered by a 649cc engine. The manufacturer will produce both the motorcycles at its Chakan facility, which will help in lowering the prices. The Vulcan S is expected to be priced between Rs 6 lakh to Rs 7 lakh and will compete with the likes of Harley-Davidson Street 750. In addition, the Versys-X300 is expected to be priced between Rs 3 lakh to 4 lakh.
